A German poet (1797-1848); born at Hulshoff near Munster. Learned in science, she resided for years at Coblentz, Cologne, and Bonn, in intimate friendship with the ablest men there; from 1840 on she lived in studious retirement at Meersburg Castle on Lake Constance. Her poetry is comprised in a volume of "Poems" (1838), with two posthumous volumes: "The Church Year, with an Appendix of Religious Poems" (1852), and "Last Gifts" (1860). It is vigorous, original, unaffected, and perfect in form. Her simple devoutness is specially marked in the fragments "A Nobleman of Lusatia" and "A Country Priest's Ways". She excelled also as a novelist.
